Social Selling and Why You Should Care

“According to the Corporate Executive Board, 57% of the buying process is complete before talking to sales. Consumers are also 71% more likely to make a purchase based on social media referrals.”

Social Selling and Why You Should Care

I’m a consultant that uses Social Media to help my clients get update to date with the latest, increase visibility with their audiences, and create engagement that could increase sales. Educating them on the importance on Social Media requires consistency. The struggle is learning how to sell in an ever-changing online world.

—- I finished the webcast motivated to change my LinkedIn profile and add articles that I’m passionate about like Social Media and Selling, Women in Business, Hispanic Marketing, and Millennials in the Workforce onto my personal profile. There’s value in spending time (weekly) updating this info! Be an influencer in your community! (it could lead to more revenue in the long run)

Twitter is a tool to search. It’s used for research and “listening” to conversations. I personally use https://twitter.com/search-advanced (must be logged in) to see what people have mentioned in related keywords (like your business name, products, etc).

I also learned coffee (meetings) is for connectors not closers.

Finally, do you agree with Jill that we shouldn’t think “prospects” but instead “future advocates”?
